Here's our review of the Cowboys-Cardinals game in our weekly Beat Writers Recap.
Enjoy.
*For the discussion regarding the Cowboys blowing so much time off the clock prior to Dan Bailey (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/14322/dan-bailey)'s 49-yard field goal attempt near the end of the game, there was some other time lost on the same possession. The game clock read 1:01 when the Cowboys faced with a second-and-20 at their own 45. Tony Romo (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/5209/tony-romo) completed a pass to Dez Bryant (http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/_/id/13215/dez-bryant) for nine yards. The next time the Cowboys snapped the ball, 31 seconds remained on the clock. Some two-minute offense huh? Cowboys should have been a little quicker with the plays at the line of scrimmage and maybe Jason Garrett does call for a run play near the end of the game.
*Garrett said he didn't like the number of negative run plays he saw in the first half against the Cardinals. In the first half, the Cowboys ran 13 times for 48 yards. In the second half, Garrett called just six run plays. The Cowboys had four second half possessions, including a 13-play drive in the third quarter, where he called three run plays. Garrett gave up on the run too fast on Sunday. Yes, Arizona sneaked a safety into the box to offset the run, that's fine, but don't give up on the run.
